As professors, we spend lots of time thinking about how we teach. We create, recreate, search for new ideas, and experiment. The time we put into these endeavors should, we think, result in better teaching and greater learning. But all too often our pedagogies fall short—not because they aren't sound but because students struggle to find the motivation to succeed. And if you are like me, you didn't enter academia to be a cheerleader or a parent. Fortunately, research shows that there are methods we can use that positively influence our students' motivation levels. Join to hear about motivational methods that promise greater student engagement. Pom-poms not required!
